My translation is certainly one of the politically correct ones on the page. Plenty of male nurses out there!

In the U.S.A. there are many different titles/diplomas within the field of Nursing: Registered Nurse - RN; Licensed Practical Nurse LPN; Licensed Vocational Nurse - LVN; Advanced Nurse Practitioner; Nurse Practitioner... Therefore, "Enfermera" is just a generic term for Nurse that does not address the specific differences among each specialization.

Enfermera clínica

My comment:

I think the translation should be "Enfermera clinica" because they are nurses which practice medicine in general. I supposed it is like the practitioner doctor. It is someone which is not related with a specific filed in the medicine.

Enfermera especialista

My comment:

"Nurse practitioner: es una especialidad reciente de la
enfermería estadounidense que conlleva años adicionales
de estudio y práctica después del grado como RN. Estas
enfermeras pueden ejercer la medicina general bajo la
supervisión de un médico. A medida que crece su
conocimiento se desligan, al punto en que pueden ejercer
la medicina en su propio consultorio, bajo la tutela distante
de un médico, y deben entonces tener seguro de mala
práctica. La traducción de nurse practitioner preferida
por la American Association of Nurse Practitioners es
enfermera especialista. ¡Ojo! No es enfermera practicante
como se podría pensar de inmediato; ésta última
traducción ya se usaba para una licensed practical nurse
(LPN). Al lado de la LPN está la LVN o licensed vocational
nurse / enfermera vocacional."
